E-CATALOGUE TWO: THE ANCIENTS

By Les Enluminures, Ltd.


E-CATALOGUE TWO: THE ANCIENTS Sallust, Plutarch, Cicero, Juvenal, Boethius–are these authors we still read? that we should still read? Certainly, they have shaped our society. As the historian Mary Beard says, “many of our most fundamental assumptions about power, citizenship, responsibility, political violence, empire, luxury, beauty, and even humour, have been formed, and tested, in dialogue with the Romans and their writing.”

E-CATALOGUE ONE: WOMEN AND THE BOOK

By Les Enluminures, Ltd.


E-CATALOGUE ONE: WOMEN AND THE BOOK Manuscripts made and/or owned by women offer one of the best and most vivid resources for telling the stories of these women, secular and religious, young and old, high-born and common. Seven of the manuscripts in our new list were owned by, and often made by, nuns; the lives of secular women are revealed in three special manuscripts. For the classroom and the collector, these manuscripts bring to life the roles women played in society.
